a star fell from the sky
a teardrop fell from the lion’s eye
the antelope bounded across the plain
and old mother hubbard prayed for rain
the antelope’s name was jake
it could not catch a break
the lion had been on its trail
through rain and snow and hail
the lion’s name was brad
the only luck he had was bad
he had given up hope
of ever catching the antelope
brad was pursued in his turn
by a hunter named mcgurn
who threatened brad’s existence
with aggravating persistence
mcgurn had problems of his own
deputy sheriff john stone
had a warrant for his arrest
because mother knows best
creatures the whole world round
cover miles of ground
escaping from each other
that’s all, brother
